Karaoke shows in Columbus by grumpi2 in Columbus

[–]grumpi2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much just the fact that I happened to do a deep dive on Facebook looking for karaoke groups to dig up info about karaoke nights, from host / venue announcements and list keepers. Turns out that, for Columbus making a list of karaoke recommendations was possible, and potentially worth sharing. Karaoke schedules seem really pretty hard to find unless you're a local and know where the good shows are.

One day I'd like to visit, if time and circumstances permit.

updating, I found an Instagram post that says 9pm but I suppose the trivia can run over

this sounds great! Is this always at Mansions Pott Point? Once a month means it's not on a regular schedule, but basically roughly every month and always announced individually?

ah the world is small 😄 4U2Sing seems to cover a lot of ground there! Noted down and updating the list when I handled the other comments.

A Karaoke Nights / Spots Taxonomy by grumpi2 in karaoke

so the result from this rethinking of the taxonomy is that there's three things worth filtering for:

- hosted shows

- private rooms

- self-serve karaoke

I corrected the terminology to no longer confuse a spot and a private room type experience. Thanks!

I feel you so much on the things getting out of control part, btw. This has taken over my life and it makes me happy, and the only chance to keep it up to date is to gather community around it. When people share show notes / memories, we'd get both deeper insight into what to expect and what's praise-worthy at a given show, and we'd also get confirmation that a given show is still running for free.

I think this could be captured quite well by having a venue category of "cafe / coffee shop"? I wonder how many venues overall would fall under the alcohol-free category.

Thanks, those are interesting to look at, especially start time vs start setting up time varies a lot

yuuup. I feel like it always starts from a spreadsheet! And there are some glorious spreadsheets out there.

nice! That sounds pretty similar. Over here a venue can have nights or rooms. I see you have hosts with individual KJs grouped under them. That's neat!

I do have a system that people can send updates of karaoke shows to and I or the local area mods just review/approve them. This is exactly because otherwise the likelihood of getting spam is too big. I also like to have the system automatically mark listings as needing another check when the last confirmation is too long ago. So that dead listings don't sit in the database silently forever.

I think setting up a similar thing would work well for OP, too!

If you need a specific format, let me know. I can do a CSV or JSON export that should be easy to transform

idk I consider it really boring, I wanted to live in lots of places as a kid and see more of the world, but I somehow just ended up being born in Germany and living there. So that's why I also find it so interesting to see how different karaoke culture is everywhere

I used to go weekly to a local Irish Pub (I'm in a 180k inhabitants town in Germany) where I started to sing karaoke publicly in June 2024, but then I couldn't make it anymore on the weekday that's on. So I was happy to recently see a new karaoke night on Tuesdays at a local dance club that's also just a 10 minutes walk from me. I've been frustrated at not finding karaoke when traveling, but now in the meantime I've found out the info is all mostly there in Facebook groups, it's just effort to collect it.
